Delegate and Empower – Are they different?

They are not…. Empowerment takes delegation to the next level that gets you greater results. Leaders play big role in transforming team to a highly empowered team to achieve great outcomes. Let’s look at these closely.

Leaders who delegate tasks effectively manage their time to focus on more strategic initiatives rather than getting bogged down with firefighting and routine tasks. By delegating tasks and empowering team members to make decisions, leaders can tap into a wider range of perspectives and expertise.

When delegating a task, leaders should provide clear instructions on what needs to be done, how it needs to be done, and by when. They should also provide any necessary resources and support, and set clear expectations for the delegated task, including the deadline, deliverables, and quality standards.

Delegation isn’t just about assigning tasks; it’s about empowering your team, fostering growth, and maximizing collective output. These depend on your leadership style, the tasks, and your team’s capability and strength.

I remember I learned about a frog that lived in the well. Since frog was in the well entire his life he thought that the Well is the world and there is nothing beautiful than that until the water in the well dried and frog had to come out of it.

We should not be that FROG in the well.

There are lot of things in the world that we have not learned and seen yet. We must be open to learn. You might be able perform well in your job today. But we need to think about tomorrow. The world is changing too fast, so we need to learn faster and act swiftly to survive in the world.

It is not just about learning, we also need to look around and check are we doing it properly. It this the best of doing? There are 100s of people in the world doing similar stuff differently. It is a challenge to get know about how others are doing. That is where you need to collaborate with others, engage yourself with others in the world, hear other, share your thoughts,  arranged hackathons to bring new ideas and encourage openness in the team to bring new thoughts. We never know, the ideas can come from junior in the team. Remember an idea can change your world !!!

Infra Folks, shouldn’t we change our approach with Public Cloud

All of us are familiar with below picture and can easily describe the IaaS, PaaS and SaaS. Are we thinking about how it is changing our way of working? It is affecting both Infra and App team as both the teams need to think about each other’s territories especially when somebody need to build DevOps culture.

PaaS

It is gone those days we just don’t care about any application or functionality what is running on the servers that we built. We used to provide number of servers based on the sizing and design. We did not have to know what functionality the application would perform or roles as well.

You can continue with the above if you are still thinking of riding on IaaS (Infrastructure As A Services) but not with PaaS (Platform As A Services) and SaaS (Software As A Services). Infrastructure team has little things to do now as most of those tasks will be performed by your Cloud Service Provider.

Everybody talks about serverless computing even though, there is none at the backend 😊. We should be able to think about moving away from monolithic architectures, moving to microservices and containerize wherever possible.
